Magpie's Song...a poem for today

Magpie’s SongGary Snyder

Six A.M.,
Sat down on excavation gravel
by juniper and desert S.P. tracks
interstate 80 not far off
between trucks
Coyotes—maybe three
howling and yapping from a rise.
Magpie on a bough
Tipped his head and said,"Here in the mind, brotherTurquoise blue.I wouldn’t fool you.Smell the breezeIt came through all the treesNo need to fearWhat’s aheadSnow up on the hills westWill be there every yearbe at rest.A feather on the ground—The wind sound—Here in the Mind, Brother,Turquoise Blue"

All About Magpie

Magpie Madness emerged from my love of turquoise, my search for quality jewelry at affordable prices, and my desire to create opportunities for you too. My son Ian, while gazing at rows upon rows of beads exclaimed, "Mom, I'm a magpie; I like shiny things!" It was a natural fit because he rarely stops talking. The name clicked.

When you find the perfect piece(s), please send me an email with your contact information (make sure I'm on your accepted addresses so I do get your email) and I will send you a PayPal invoice. Be a Magpie!I ship within 24 hours of confirmed payment.

I recently added a small collection of Magpies to Etsy! So, you can shop there, too! But, if you're looking for more necklaces, especially chunkier styles, browse this blog.
